Sometimes I Need You
by Honeytree

Album: Evergreen


Sometimes I need You to be tough
Solid as a wall of stone
When my enemies gather outside
And I cannot fight them off alone
Let me hide behind the wall
So the arrows don't get through to me
Like a fortress strong and tall
That's what I need for You to be
Sometimes brother sometimes

Sometimes I need You to be sharper
Than a two edged sword
When my heart and mind lead me astray
And You know I cannot see the way
When I stumble and fall
And temptation makes a fool of me
Upon You I will call
Restore me in humility
And love sister sweet love

Sometimes I need You just to be tender
Soft as a baby's skin
Warm as a mother's smile
When my fears attack me from within
When You hold me let me cry
So I know my tears get through to You
To sing a gentle lullaby
That's all I need for You to do
Sometimes sometimes

Sometimes I know it's hard to tell
And it's hard for me to tell you
Tough or tender I'll try to remember
That You need me too
And I will do the same for You
Sometimes brother
Sometimes sweet sister sometimes

This song helped encourage me and my wife since Honeytree's Evergreen album came out back in the 70's. We still listen to her music, but "Sometimes I Need You" is extra special. - Jan 2023
